PS: All three of these videos rock.

Trying to figure out if I like these as much as I think I do...

Listening to this album yesterday for the first time, I was saddened THAT THIS DID NOT ENTER MY LIFE SOONER. This is a side of Sufjan I need, and think everybody needs too,in my life.

124

Well, there you have it.

123

I would feel so much more comfortable liking this if she was more than NINE YEARS OLD.

122

Not gonna lie: This song is stuck in my head.

While I'm already shoving literature on you, I thought I'd add Juan Rulfo's short story "No oyes ladrar los perros" to the required reading.

I just wrote an essay (in Spanish!) about how Ignacio seems to represent a fallen or degenerate Jesus. But I'll stop talking and let you interpret it (or not) for yourself. It's available in Spanish here, and there is a half-way decent English translation here.

Yekl by Abraham Cahan. It's an 89-page novel. It's available online for free. Read it.

It's about the struggles of the Jewish immigrant right before the turn of the century (we're talkin' 1800s to 1900s, here). I'm writing an essay, as we speak, about how it suggests that immigrants feel pressured to drop their past identities in favor of new American ones.

Just thought I'd share.

If this was all they did at church, I'd consider going.

For me, the Halloween season just isn't the same without a viewing or two of Disney's Legend of Sleepy Hollow, narrated by Bing Crosby. Enjoy!

116

These have officially brightened my day.

115

It's raining here, too.

Para nosotros que conocemos el español.

People need to lighten up, for sure.

Awesome Halloween costume idea, inspired by Spirited Away. Looks like it's already been taken.

Thank God for John Darnielle.

I'm waiting for the train
The subway that only goes one way
The stupid thing that will come to pull us apart
And make everybody late
You spent everything you had
Wanted everything to stop that bad
And now I'm a crushed credit card registered to Smith
Not the name that you call me with
You turned white like a saint
I'm tired of dancing on a pot of gold flake paint
Oh, we're so very precious, you and I
And everything that you do makes me want to die
Oh, I just told the biggest lie
I just told the biggest lie
The biggest lie

Elliott Smith, "The Biggest Lie"

I just really, really love this song. I suppose it stimulates the badass in me that otherwise goes unsatisfied.
